Avast Threat Lab - Cryptomining behavior guidelines

Avast Antivirus protects your PC by detecting and blocking malicious behavior. To determine whether a website using cryptomining technology is malicious, we use a set of guidelines for acceptable behavior.

General guidelines:

Websites show a text box with all relevant information.

Websites do not mine before the site visitor grants it the right to mine by clicking on an Accept button.

The Accept button from text box works as a direct mining referral.

In case of changes in mining terms, a new text box with Accept and Decline buttons is shown.
